Down Highway 169 to the river valley, with the fare fixed up front
Mankato is about 80 miles southwest of the Twin Cities on Highway 169, roughly 85 minutes door to door, and it is the kind of trip that a rideshare app will not reliably take at 4 AM. We do. Our Mankato rides run to and from the Minnesota State University campus on the hill, Bethany Lutheran College, the Mayo Clinic Health System hospital and clinics, the event center and Old Town downtown, the hotels along Madison Avenue and Highway 22, River Hills Mall, and the neighborhoods across the river in North Mankato.
Students and families book us at move-in, graduation and every break in between, with the Escalade holding six people and a semester of belongings. Executives at the corporate headquarters in North Mankato and the manufacturers along Highway 14 use us for MSP flights when the timing does not suit a drive and a parking ramp. Patients coming to the Twin Cities or Rochester for specialist care book a quiet, direct ride, and concert and hockey crowds use us between the Twin Cities and the event center downtown.
Every Mankato trip is quoted as a single flat fare before you confirm, and the round trip saves 10 percent. The Escalade is our recommendation for Highway 169 in winter. Hourly and as-directed service stays within the Twin Cities metro, so Mankato rides are always point to point.
